Me to We - Meets - STAPLES

Hello All,

I hope your weekend is going well, the weather here in Toronto has been
extremely dreamy! On Thursday June 19th, the Free The Children organizations
held a Me to We event at the Toronto Front Street STAPLES unveiling their new
partnership with Staples and ACCO Brands to revolutionize back -to- school
shopping.

“For the first time ever, students and parents across Canada
have the power to make a difference with their back-to-school purchases and help
thousands of children in Latin America, Africa and Asia receive access to
education. Me to We, in partnership with Staples and ACCO Brands, launched its
first line of eco- friendly school supplies with an impact. Each product
purchased gives a life- changing gift directly to a child or family in a Free
The Children community overseas, so they are free to learn without battling against
hunger, thirst, disease and financial restraints. Together with hundreds of
students; Free The Children co- founder Marc Kielburger; Me to We CEO, Roxanne
Joyal; VP of Merchandising at Staples, Pete Gibel; and a surprise celebrity appearance
from JRDN; Me to We will officially launch its eco-friendly line of school
supplies at Staples’ Front Street location in Toronto. The line is now
available for purchase exclusively at Staples locations across Canada or online
at www.staples.ca/metowe”

Back- to- school never sounded so good! Let's check out the fantastically cool merchandise!!!

Be the difference kiddies and parents, it's worth it, as well as "socially conscious shopping made simple!"
